If LCDs have no framerate or refresh rate, they will not draw
frames from top to bottom? How then?

A try for a better explanation:
Certain videos (for example the Neo<->Smith fight sceen in Matrix
Revoluitions) with fast changing lightning conditions expose some
screen distortions.

They are of two kind:
The upper half of the screen is still in "bright condition"
when the lower half is in "dark condition" -- what comes first 
and where this "break" is, depends. Also varying is the position
of this "break" on the screen.

The other distortion is based on similiar lightning conditions
(fast changes) and looks like a small stripe of video has been
drawn to much left or right compared to the rest of the screen.

I can describe how it looks like and I may have an idea what
the root of the problem ("I have an idea" does NOT mean "I know"
or "I am sure"!) is: 50Hz vs. 60Hz.

I asked here for technical help, since based on what I suppose
I didnt find a solution myself.
